Enjoy the magic of an Orkney holiday from the comfort and luxury of this newly built, spacious accommodation.

Burra View self catering apartment was build as an annex to the family home in 2010 and has stunning panoramic sea views across Hoy Sound and out to the west coast of Orkney. Enjoy watching the small local fishing boat go to sea and the Northlink Ferry Hamnavoe pass by from the large bay window in the lounge.
